Golf Tips and Golf News

In my last post I commented on the way Ian Poulter's victory was just as important for English golf as it was for his own career. Making up 50% of the top ranked golfers in the world (three of the top six) English golfers seem set to continue the dominance we've seen recently.

Although Poulter's victory has been all over recent golf news, let us not forget Lee Westwood's fantastic victory in the Race to Dubai not too long ago, not to mention the fact that Paul Casey is still ranked number six! Below that, we also have Ross Fisher, Luke Donald and Oliver Wilson all in the top forty - things are definitly looking good.



But back to Poulter, since it's his turn in the limelight. As far as technique goes,we all know he's not the best. His recent short game has been exceptional (as displayed by his two pin shots the other day) and his putting has been impressive as well. His ball striking, on the other band, isn't the best around - yet that doesn't seem to be holding him back. Why? I think perhaps Englishness plays a role here as well; Ian Poulter is full to the brim with good old fashioned English dive and determination. He may wear pink from head to toe, but inside he's made of iron! An excited time lies ahead for English golf!
